After a tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, the appearance of your belly button can change depending on the type of procedure you undergo:
- Traditional Tummy Tuck:
- In a full or traditional Tummy Tuck in Dubai, excess skin is removed from the abdomen, and the remaining skin is pulled downward to tighten the area. During this process, the belly button may be repositioned to ensure it looks natural in its new position. The surgeon creates a new opening for the belly button in the skin that remains after excess skin is removed. This can result in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance of the belly button.
- Mini Tummy Tuck:
- A mini tummy tuck is less extensive than a full tummy tuck and is typically done for those who have excess skin and fat below the belly button. In this procedure, the belly button usually remains in its original position, and only the lower abdomen is addressed. The belly button may appear slightly lifted or tightened depending on the amount of skin removed and the extent of muscle tightening.
In both types of tummy tucks, the belly button itself is not removed but rather repositioned or reshaped to fit the new contour of the abdomen. The result is often a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing appearance, especially if the belly button was previously affected by excess skin or stretch marks.
